How to develop Critical Thinking

How to develop Critical ThinkingCritical thinking involves effective communication and problem-solving.

It requires constant analyzing, reasoning and evaluating.

This type of thinking is said to be the best way to get to the truth.

Developing critical thinking skills takes time and effort. However, we can train ourselves to think critically by learning and practicing daily, the habits and processes of critical thinkers.


When you are presented with a new situation it is important that you know how to form questions that will guide your understanding of the situation.Good questions come from good observation skills, taking in all of the information which the situation presents by using all of your senses.Develop affective strategies. Affective strategies include thinking independently, developing confidence in reasoning, exercising fair-mindedness and developing intellectual courage.

Ask Questions


Examining evidence involves observation skills.Critical thinking demands that a thinker examine the credibility of sources of information and does not accept everything at face value.A critical thinker will avoid coming to false conclusions by gathering information first and analyzing the information at hand. Detectives have to gather evidence first before they can solve crimes.

Examine the Evidence

Bloom’s Taxonomy for Thinking


Observation, Investigation, Question.

Strengthen cognitive abilities.

This includes being able to evaluate the credibility of information sources, assess solutions, note interdisciplinary connections and develop a perspective. Try analyzing information and connecting it with material you have previously read.

Define the Problem


Don’t assume that you know the answer to a problem.Avoid Bias when you are investigating a problem.

Critical thinking is about being both willing and able to evaluate one's thinking. Its focus is in learning and developing the habitual intention to be truth-seeking, open-minded, systematic, analytical, inquisitive, confident in reasoning, and prudent in making judgments.

Analyze Assumptions and Bias


Those who are ambivalent on one or more of these aspects of the disposition toward critical thinking or who have an opposite disposition (intellectually arrogant, biased, intolerant, emotional, disorganized, lazy, heedless of consequences, indifferent toward new information, mistrustful of reasoning, or imprudent) are more likely to encounter problems in using their critical-thinking skills.

Analyze Assumptions and Bias


Failure to recognize the importance of correct dispositions can lead to various forms of self-deception and closed-mindedness, both individually and collectively.

Analyze Assumptions and BiasCritical thinking is about being both willing and

able to evaluate one's thinking, which might be criticized because one does not have all the relevant information, and one makes unjustified inferences, uses inappropriate concepts, or fails to notice important implications. One's thinking may be unclear, inaccurate, imprecise, irrelevant, narrow, shallow, illogical, or trivial, due to ignorance or misapplication of the appropriate learned skills of thinking.


To become a successful Critical Thinker You must keep your feelings at bay and stay away from letting your feelings cloud your actions.Consider all of the facts carefully and don’t come to hasty conclusions.Avoid being narrow minded and consider looking at a problem from many different angles.

In Conclusion

Understand that things will not always become crystal clear.
